What do you mean by "work with audio"? Do you mean people who use
audio in their work? i.e.musicians,producers etc?Or do you mean people
that repair equipment, like a service engineer?

He probably means people who design and build audio equipment (there seem to
be quite a lot on this NG).

If its the latter then
fair enough. The guy who does my servicing can't tell the difference
between a radiogram and a high end set-up! If its the former then I
can tell you that I have done MANY comparative audio demonstrations of
cd players,amplifiers and the rest to PROFFESSIONAL musicians (most
you will have heard of!) and they appreciate the differences that are
there to hear.

So who are you? and why do you do these demonstrations?, are you trying to
sell them something?. A good salesman knows how to manipulate his customers.

And *how* do you do these demonstrations?, do the audience know what they
are listening to?, how accurately do you match sound levels etc.

Of course recording quality is paramount (silk purse/
sows ear).

As is room acoustics. Why don't audiophiles spend their time worrying about
the sound of the carpet, or the wallpaper, which makes far more difference
to the sound than competent amplifiers or cables?.

I suppose its all about experiences, but if you can't tell
the difference in sound between a Quad 34/306 and a Naim nait3....

And do they still sound the same after your "guy" has repaired them?. If he
can't tell the difference how does he know if they are working the way they
should?
